Subject choices
I am choosing Maths, Physics & Drama for A levels. Will Top Unis view these as good choices?

To be honest, it depends on what course you’re heading towards, but a lot of the part is getting good grades so you can apply to them

Hi @abriar you should check what sort of requirements are needed for the kind of degree you want to do. Head to the universities web pages and then click on the courses you would be interested in and they should have the requirements listed there.

Start by working out what you might want to do for a career / job - even if its just a very vague 'something like' - Job profiles | Prospects.ac.uk
Then look at any/all degree subjects that sound interesting, don't just look at your A level subjects. There are hundreds of degrees such as Law that have no specific required A level subjects, and many others that may only require one subject like Maths or even just 'an essay-based subject' etc - and there are many degrees that combine more than one subject. Examples :
Subject areas - Keele University
Undergraduate Courses, Degrees : Study : University of Sussex
Undergraduate subject areas - University of Birmingham
